A body recovered from the St. Clair River Thursday morning, has been positively identified as that of a man who went missing a week ago.
21-year-old Riley Gleason of East China Township disappeared under the water after jumping from a boat behind the St. Clair Inn at St. Clair, Michigan.
The St. Clair County Sheriff Office said Friday that Gleason's body was discovered from the air by his grandfather off Russell Island in Clay Township.
“We are extremely saddened by the tragic loss of life, but are grateful that the Gleason family will have closure,” said Sheriff Tim Donnellon. “I would like to thank all of the first responders who assisted in the effort to find Riley.
